Rocche di Castiglione is a famous vineyard area of the Castiglione Falletto district. This low ridge lies in a protected place, and vines ripen earlier than average. With its sandier soils and aspect toward the morning sun, though, the wines are aromatically expressive and finessed. It's a relatively more open wine at an early stage (depending on the vitnage): they're typically approachable at the 6 to 8-year mark, though they age wonderfully. It tends toward a cocktail of red fruits, both ripe and crisp, licorice or anise, and aromatic balsam top notes (rather than heavy and resinous). The 2020 vintage was balanced, resulting in even-keeled wines that follow the classic character of the site, but with a more open-knit, warmly red-fruited character.

KERIN O'KEEFE 96 POINTS - "The 2020 Rocche di Castiglione from Brovia is gorgeous. Embodying the finesse the site is celebrated for, it boasts enticing scents of wild rose, iris, perfumed berry and botanical herb. Sleek and elegant, the smooth palate offers juicy red cherry, crushed strawberry and star anise set against lithe, refined tannins. Fresh acidity keeps it well balanced. Reflecting the forward nature of the vintage, this is already closing in on the start of its drinking window but will offer years of pleasure. Drink 2025–2035.
